Reviews & Ratings for Yukon Mini Varmint Hunter NVRS Titanium 1.5x42 Night Vision Rifle Scope — 21 reviews — Page 1

Not a bad scope for the price. Killed two big hogs the first night I tried it. At first I thought it was not holding the bullseye for a while. But I tightened the sight down and practiced alittle bit and it seems to be good. The only thing that sucks with this sight is you have to sight it in, in the dark. Makes zeroing in a whole lot more fun.

Great over all,easy to install, easy to cite,not to hart to replace batteries, great optics,perfect for my application. I do recomend this product for night hunting.
Make sure the scope if is mountn on a rifle to have the proper storage, very important to maintain proper citeing and proper care.

I purchased this product based on the GunsAmerica Blog recommendation.
It was easy to install and worked as described. It is a good starter Night Vision scope.
The battery installation was not difficult, but, it was tight.
The scope stayed attached to the rail of a 5.56.
I found it cumbersome to site in only at night.

As other reviewers said, this won't hold zero on much more than a 22. Spent an hour going back and forth, up and down, and could not get a consistent grouping. I know it wasn't my fault because I have no problems zeroing my other scopes. The optics are acceptable for my purposes at close range shooting, although visually there is no magnification that I can tell. It may be good for smaller caliber guns. Returning it promptly and am very disappointed.

Other than battery installation/removal, nice unit. Relatively small and light weight.
Pros: Has very decent optics clarity for price points and uses standard AA batteries.
Cons: Installing the batteries is a "bit of a trick." Battery cap is difficult to screw on/off due to location.

I received my nvrs last week. Set the scope on my rifle, did some field testing. So far I'm pleased with the results. Iwould recommend this product to someone.
Pros: easy setup,great value for price, great expectations
Cons: none to detail.

I mounted this on two different rifles, with a reliable mounting system, and it would not hold zero. I would shoot a string, sight it in, then set the rifle down or walk up to tape paper, when I would shoot again, it would be off by 1' to 2' on a man sized target at 50 yards. returned and waiting on refund.
Pros: image even without IR illuminator
Cons: does not hold zero

Great value on a 1st gen unit

This is everything they say that it is, great for night hunting coyotes & hogs, I put this on a Daewoo DR-200 .223--very deadly at a 100 yards. I'm very pleased with this, may buy another for my .308
Pros: very light, tough, easy to use, AA batterys
Cons: none that I can find

The Yukon Mini Varmint hunter is great. I got this while waiting for a more expensive Gen 2+ on back order. When I got this one I cancelled the Gen2+. I mounted this in 5 minutes as it had simple knobs and was able to bore sight it with my laser in 10 min. The knobs are easy to use and don't require a coin to adjust. The scope sighted in at night relatively easily. It was high left and adjusted to center in about 16 rounds. I took it out to my hog stand and was hunting the night I sighted it in. The vision is great in clear nights and moon phases. I also had good visibility in overcast with light bouncing off cloud cover. Dark no moon cloudy nights require the use of the IR light on the scope. The low magnification is acceptable for my stand but I might like to have a higher power scope. The reticle is bright red and can be used as an aim point during the day. Remember to keep the cover closed in daylight. Great value for the money!
Pros: Good Price, Easy to Sight In, Good visibility, Easy to mount
Cons: Battery tube hard to access, Limited to IR in dark nights
